Does anyone make soya milk?

Does the cheaper one have a long guarantee? If not then how long have you all been using the cheaper one without problems. The one on Wholistic research site has a 7 yr guarantee - but am wondering if the cheaper version will last as long with a little care and attention. What about replacement parts prices/how much they cost to run etc? Does anyone know? Am happy to pay higher price for better quality but imho sometimes that isn't the case and with care cheaper versions are just as robust.

I am thinking of getting a soymilk maker too. Can anyone advice which one to buy (or not to buy)?
My own researches is that "Soyquick" seems to be a better model than "Soya fresh" because soya fresh is more difficult to clean. Is this true?

There is also a new soymilk maker called "Soyabella" and it seems to be the best model on the market?

I am basically after a quiet and easy to clean soymilk maker. any suggestion is much appreciated! thanks in advance.

Mine is like the Soyabella model, it is much easier to clean than my old one, because with the Soyabella, the heating element is not exposed.

Realise the joy of making your own soya milk at home with soya milk machines! :s12:

Hmmm for me, the benefits of making soy milk at home will be, you can flavour your own soya milk(!), and control the amount of sugar you have in your own drink (maybe even 0 sugar)

Soya Milk Machines are convenient for daily usage! (easy to clean + produce takes 20 mins --> machine can be left alone.)

With you making your own soya milk at home, you dont need to worry about the amount of sugar/preservatives in the usual soy brands sold outside.

Furthermore, You could produce a lot more soy milk with the low-cost soy beans you use with the machine, yup.

You could even produce other drinks like almond milk, peanut milk, etc. with the soya milk machines offered.

If you want to see the soya milk machines available, go to soyamilkmachines.net

As much as I dislike spammers, thanks for resurrecting this thread - fabulous (but have hit the spam button nonetheless).

You can make tofu with soya milk as long as it's still fresh, doesn't matter if it's leftover one or newly made. just follow the same receipe and you'll be fine.

When the fresh soy milk is still hot I throw in a scant teaspoon of epsom salts (buy them from any chemist). Stir and wait for 5 mins. Strain through a cheese cloth and then press. Delicious

Oat milk recipe here
Although generally I find it quite gloopy.

i have a chinese model bought by my mum who went to HK years ago. it's one of weekly rituals making a batch. when i first tried my OH (who's never tried soya milk before) loved it. it became our night drink when watching a film (instead of popcorn/snacks that some ppl do). this carried on for weeks. it's much nicer fresh, some ppl (like my OH) prefers it sweetened. we use rock sugar that we got from the Chinese s/m (quite cheap, about £1 a pack of 400g, i think) when I've introduced it to vegan friends.

someone asked where the beans are from. they're regularly obtained from all the big s/m for about £1.30-ish (it's gone up in price over last 3/4mths, has anyone noticed?)

i've worked out it costs us about 14p per 1.3 litre inc. elec, water and beans. i strain mine thru muslin as the fine mesh spout takes ages to pour and it collects all the froth/scum from the beans. the beans we have to soak overnight, tho' the machine we have has both options of using unsoaked too. we prefer the soaked beans method as we fear the motor might burn out too quick on the unsoaked beans (it makes a louder noise as it grinds). the whole process is done in 20mins. we also have to wash out the jug v quickly as the soya milk remains/sediment dries up to a crust, so it's awkward to wash properly (you have to use a toothbrush to clean the hole where the beans go-that's the hardest part.)

my OH tried to make tofu using Gypsum Salt/Powder (also bought from Wing Yip) but somehow it didn't coagulate properly = just curdled...
i do have a 2nd hand book on tofu and it's other uses. the okara/bean curd sheets, i will make one day.. has anyone made this before? i wonder whether tempeh is made from this.?

We drink at least 1 litre of soy milk a day in my house so I'm thinking one of these machines could probably save us some money!

I've seen cheaper chinese machines on eBay... Does anyone have one of these and, if so, does it work out ok? I can't see what the difference in between these and the soyabella type machines apart from being half the price?

Thanks,

Kevin

I've only ever made soya milk using a liquidizer and a jelly bag - looking forward to hearing about peoples' experience with the specialist makers
